The workshop is open to ANL, Illinois and INRIA faculties, researchers, engineers, and students who want to learn more about sustained Petascale computing and Exascale. A key objective of the workshop is to identify new research collaborations and establish a roadmap for their implementation.

The eighth workshop of the INRIA-Illinois Joint Laboratory on Petascale Computing will gather top researchers in HPC from INRIA, ANL and the University of Illinois to explore research problems related to post-petascale supercomputers and present results of their joint work obtained since the previous workshop (6 months ago). The workshop will feature technical sessions on five main topics: Petascale Applications, Parallel Programming (Hybrid, Hierarchical, Heterogeneous), Resilience, Numerical Algorithms and Libraries and I/O. Other potential topics of collaboration will be presented and discussed.
